With the preseason in the rearview mirror for all 32 teams in the National Football League, it's time for the main event, a la the start of the regular season, which officially kicks off Thursday night when the New England Patriots host the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Giants went 2-2 this preseason, with wins in Week 2 and Week 4 over the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots, respectively.

Big Blue opens the 2015 season with a visit to Dallas. From 2009-2012, the Giants won four consecutive games as the road team in this vaunted NFC East rivalry.

Comments: It's always nice to have your GM pressing the pressure button while you're still practicing in shorts in early August. Twenty-eight points per game -- the bar Jerry Reese set for his team earlier this month -- might seem like a tall order for this offense, what with New York's weight-room-depleted offensive line, an oft-injured starting tailback and a key wideout coming off major knee surgery. Then you look around at the other defenses in the NFC East. "Make that 35, guys. I think we should score 35 points per game."
NFC East: No. 5 Cowboys, No. 12 Eagles, No. 27 Washington
